General

The Bassbreaker 15 Head by Fender is the next step in the evolution of the classic Bassman sound. Thanks to a redesigned circuit that can generate three types of breakups, Fender defies convention once again with a satisfying, driving tube sound that is synonymous with hard rock. Combine this tube head with the Bassbreaker BB-112 or BB-212 extension cabinet for a stack that looks as impressive as it sounds. Fender's Bassbreaker 15 Head is a harmonious trilogy of sound, functionality and price.

Bassbreaker 15 Head: extreme functionality

This head can easily deliver an aggressive midrange thanks to three 12AX7 preamp tubes and a couple of potent EL84 power tubes, resulting in 15 watts of pure rock. With a broad range of EQing options, you can adjust the sound anywhere from mild to wild, depending on your personal preference. There's even a digital hall reverb built in for extra ambience. Furthermore, this amp features handy options like a mute function for recording, an XLR output with ground lift, and an FX loop for making optimal use of your favourite effects.

The Fender Bassbreaker: extremely versatile

Think you can tame one of Fender's newest and wildest beasts? From Dave Navarro to Mark Hoppus, from Rob Ackroyd to Simon Neil, they all agree that these tube amps sound full, warm and offer incredible versatility. Whether you're a session musician in the studio or a live performer on stage, the Bassbreaker is capable of giving you anything from clean tones to a monster overdrive.

Fender Bassbreaker 15 Head guitar amp head
Wrote the following about Fender Bassbreaker 15 Head guitar amp head
Het is een mooie versterker maar niet als hoofdversterker. Soms missen er wat heldere klanken. Dit is wel een hele Fender-like versterker. Maar ik combineer hem liever stereo met een wat zwaardere helderdere versterker. Ik gebruik als speaker een Celestion 12 inch greenback. Toch ziet het er netjes uit en zijn de opties minimaal, wat juist positief is. Je kunt namelijk weinig fout doen.

Vette versterker top! Te gekke cleans en ook zeer geschikt voor drive parts. Door de 3-gain stages makkelijk te selecteren. Mooie digitale galm voor het opvullen van je solo's. Nog een paar effect pedals erbij en je bent zo gigable. Onder de top maak ik gebruik van de Bassbreaker BB212, dus ook goede looks.
Het was het vele werken waard!
